I complete my Mount Haruna with Toyota GT86 on Autumn

If you going on winter, it might get snow. Cannot enjoy and very slippery.

Since a lot shop will close early, any activities to recommend at night? The last time I stayed at Shinagawa recommended by my cousin because he say it's in the middle. I have no idea where should I pick this time.

Which place to count down for new year eve. The public transport available after count down?

One Piece 

Went there to propose to my ex-gf (now wife) at the cafe
Called up the staffs there 4 months before proposing date, and arrange for the food and bouquet of flower at the Cafe Mugiwara.

Haha. One Piece is the only reason to go Tokyo Tower.
It was done privately. So not much recording. Only photos taken by the help of the staff.

Not so much into One Piece.. going for sight seeing and photos with family..

yea it was 38.9 last week, now its 37.9

Yes, I took the Shinkansen.    Brought bento into it, and enjoyed the meal with scenery.

I also thinking if it'll go below 37.5. If hit 37.5, I'll change it without hesitation liao. I'm getting someone else to check rates at Sungai Wang.

Updated - The rates in Sungai Wang is 38.10

sunway pyramid also 38.10 as of 19/9/2017

No kiddingggggg. As long as it goes below 38 i'll go for it!
Stick your phone to the glass panel and take it from there, then the mesh won't be visible. If you take from a distance of the glass panel, you'll see the mesh.

Refused to go Starbucks because too many people and spotted the opposite train station with glass panel. FOC, less people and awesome view. Just wished that it was higher hahaha.

No...Yen cannot drop liao. My Salary Shrink liao   

kanji and mandarin words i can read....

i will try then...with a stroller on the bus haha

Hey Japanophiles,

How much are the Fast Pass for Disneyland and DisneySea? I Googled but I can't find it.

All I got was the price of regular tickets.

Also, if you have Disneyland tickets, do you automatically get to go DisneySea for free?

Thanks and ganbarimasu!

Not really ya. Major attractions yes, but not exactly 'everywhere'.

Hi There, I am planning for 12 days trips where i will touch down @ KIX.

Hope to get some advice here.

We are parents bringing 4 child age from 5 to 12, so there will be a total of 6 PAX.

At the moment i haven't finalize my itenerary and am thinking to spend 3-4 days in Tokyo.

I am comparing the Transportation cost from Kyoto --> Tokyo and Tokyo --> Kyoto

Is anyone know the fare for 1-way and/or return ticket for Shinkansen? i bet it'd be quite expensive but i'd like my kids to try it.
Alternatively i m considering to rent a car(MPV). I briefly check online and get the following but i not sure correct or not   :

Pick up in the morning from Kyoto and Drop the car in the evening in Tokyo : Rental : +/-RM440.00

Using Tomei or Meishin Expressways estimate 600KM, so petrol +/-60litre x RM5 : +/-RM300

Toll fare : +/-RM400.00

TOTAL cost : +/- RM1,140.00 (excluding apply international license)
Please help to check whether it is correct and also the fare for shinkanses. I not familiar with Japan as this is my 1st trip. TQVM 

glad u say it will be fine.. haha
I will fold my stroller for all bus ride, easy to carry and also save space for others.
my ghibli ticket is Wednesday 4PM slots, noon time I went to 鬼太郎茶屋 then ride bus from here to ghibli. yeah, the online tickets runs out extremely fast.. i never tot it will run out within 10 hours from midnight 10th each month, i never have chance to purchase the date i wants and force to push to wednesday 4pm.. however they said online tickets is limited and the rest they reserve for u to purchase at lawson which what I heard.
